Ben brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, and his passion for fitness is contagious. Look forward to his expertise, support, and guidance as he joins our coaching family.

Please note that starting this month, our 5:00 pm class will now begin at 5:15 pm, leaving 15 min between each afternoon class. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we adjust to accommodate everyone’s schedules better. Set your reminders accordingly, and we’ll see you at the gym!

Health Tips:
- Prioritize Sleep: 7-8 hours
- 1g of protein per lb lean body weight per day
- Watch total calories (use online calculators to estimate)
- Adjust up/down to gain/lose/maintain weight
- Lift heavy 3-4x per week – follow progressive overload (aka SF programming)
- Walk, walk, and walk
- Do cardio for cardiovascular health, not to lose weight
- Do NOT eat back calories burned
- Replace snacks with high-protein snacks.
- Eat less if you are looking to lose weight.
We hope you’re as pumped as we are for the month ahead. Stay motivated, keep pushing your limits, and remember that we’re here to support you every step of the way. Let’s make June a month of growth, strength, and celebration!
Keep up the hard work!
